Total electricity capacity

  • The series in the International Futures System is Total Electric Capacity by the U.S. Energy Information Administration under the Energy module. The variable name is EnElecTotalCapacityEIA.
  • The variable is part of the preprocessor for the International Futures System.
  • The capacity data consist of both utility and nonutility sources.
    • Electric utility:  A corporation, person, agency, authority, or other legal entity or instrumentality aligned with distribution facilities for delivery of electric energy for use primarily by the public. Included are investor-owned electric utilities, municipal and State utilities, Federal electric utilities, and rural electric cooperatives. A few entities that are tariff based and corporately aligned with companies that own distribution facilities are also included.
    • Electricity:  A form of energy characterized by the presence and motion of elementary charged particles generated by friction, induction, or chemical change.
    • Generator capacity:  The maximum output, commonly expressed in megawatts (MW), that generating equipment can supply to system load, adjusted for ambient conditions.
